Re: is there a Mac version?

["Michael Ross" <michael e ross gmail com>]

Example conversation below (info-LabVIEW mailing list (NI means National Instruments).  Very provocative.  Investigate MackBook Pro and Parallels.



I am a Mac fanboi from way back, but all my users are Windows. Many of my apps require NI image acquisition as well, which is not available on the Mac OS. So I am using Parallels and XP on a MacBook Pro for lots of my development. (Not when I need to run the video cards, of course.) Parallels is fine. I have it set so that right-click is ctrl-shift click, which you get used to very quickly. Cntl-drag for cloning and everything else works fine.

Files go easily back and forth to the Mac side, so I can use all the various support apps there, instead of in XP (web, file manipulation, Matlab, etc).

I used to have a separate IBM laptop. I haven't opened it for months and months.

Many people run mutlple operating systems on Macs.  There is a way to run two operating systems at teh same time, one OS for one program and a 2nd OS for another program.  Mac OS and Linux flavors play well together.    I am not in that world so I have no specifics to offer.  Seems like you could do it this way.   Dia is not a terrible resource hog so the the performance may be quite good.

I loooooved Visio, used a lot until the bad guys of the evil empire killed it!

now I'm happily living in Mac-Land, would like very much to use Dia, but am not enough of a techie to compile a Mac version....

if somebody has it, I can act as beta... I'm a dumb user but a good tester...

Thx

Mariana
